Description

Casa Esperanza is just a 5-min walk to the Jardin, which is the heart of San Miguel de Allende... so location, location location!

One enters into a traditional "zaguan" entry foyer with antique bench and tin star lanterns in this gorgeous 3 bedroom, 3 and a half bath, 4000 square foot villa. To the left is the large, eat-in kitchen with high ceilings and colorful tile work. Through a passageway is the large main living room with a big fireplace, carved wooden armoire with flat screen TV, and comfortable seating.

A dining table for 8 is at the far end near the doors leading onto to the vine-covered patio. The patio is a favorite spot for dining al fresco by the old stone fountain. Stairs from the patio lead down into the garden, a little oasis in the city center with lawns and trees, where you will find a jetted dipping pool and outdoor shower.

A covered loggia is to one side of the patio, highlighted with hand-painted picture tiles. The third bedroom has a Queen size bed, bathroom, and private patio that looks into the garden.

Upstairs via an exterior staircase are the two main bedrooms of the house. One has a king bed with an ensuite bathroom with double sinks. This bedroom gets great light and includes a fireplace and windows overlooking the garden. The other bedroom is the large master suite with king bed and en-suite bathroom. It offers views of the western mountains and includes a back staircase down to the kitchen.

Continuing up the exterior staircase you are greeted with an expansive roof terrace, complete with two sitting/lounging areas and the panoramic vistas across town and countryside. You will find it hard to pull yourself away from the expansive views from the roof terrace, a perfect spot for your evening cocktails!

Casa Esperanza has wi/fi Internet service free-of-charge and a large flatscreen TV in the living room with cable stations from the U.S. and Mexico. It also has a voyage line for calling the U.S.

Rosa, the maid, comes 4 x weekly, on Mon/Tues/Thurs/Fri from 9 am to 1 pm. She can make a simple breakfast, squeeze fresh orange juice and make guacamole...but otherwise she does not cook. Gerardo the gardener comes Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 9 am to 2 pm.

Reviews

Rose Marie Joyce

It was every bit as nice as it presents. The house beautifully maintained and decorated to capture the culture and heritage of the area. The most comfortable amenities were its closeness to the downtown, the maid service, open balconies and many outside sitting areas. The owner was very gracious to give us a thorough "book" of information regarding everything we might want to know and then some. We want to go back to this wonderful, beautiful old city.”
